My illness: Emphysema

What Is Emphysema? Emphysema is a degenerative disease that usually develops after many years of assault on lung tissues from cigarette smoke or other toxins that pollute the air. These toxins destroy the small air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli, that stretch as they transport oxygen from the air to the blood and then shrink as they force out carbon dioxide. As a result, the lungs lose their elasticity, and exhaling becomes difficult as the damaged lungs trap air and cannot effectively exchange it with fresh air. As the damage progresses, the effort needed to breathe increases and, ultimately, each breath becomes labored. (Illustration provided by the American Medical Association.) Emphysema is one of a group of lung diseases referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that can interfere with normal breathing. Other diseases that come under COPD include asthma and chronic bronchitis. According to the American Lung Association (ALA), nearly 16 million Americans are estimated to suffer from some form of COPD, and COPD is the fourth-ranking cause of death just behind heart ailments, cancers, and stroke.

Endless Online - My recent opinion

Ya know, when I started in v25 I had high hopes for the game, as I could imagine its popularity growing in the future, but now that seems just a distant dream.
Even though there's not many scammers around these days (that's a good thing I guess lol), but global is over run by spamming bots.
It's becoming a bit of a cliche now, as I can't really see it going anywhere now since Vult-r and the other admins seem to show very little interest in it.
Is Sausage the only guy capable of out witting the admins the only one who gives a damn about the game?
Obviously it could seem so, since he introduced private servers, allowing other users to have a go at making a possible better version of Endless Online for those who grow tired and bored of the cliche that is Endless Online.
Private servers have become a big hit now, and it's difficult for me to choose in which I should trust, so I am picky about which servers I go on, so choose carefully and let's hope you don't get a whopping virus on your computers.

Me Vs Microsoft & Xbox 360

I've written an email of complaint to microsoft, explaining how useless they are and how it's their fault I bought a downloadble content that I already have.

Hello, I'd like to complain about how it's because of you and releasing downloadble content early for Mass Effect 2 that I went and bought a downloadble content that I already owned.
You see, I had to go through Mass Effect again because my brother deleted my save file before finding out that I'd need it, and my plan was to leave Mass Effect 2 alone until I completed Mass Effect.
At first when I saw the cerebus download I thought "I've got that but will leave the downloading til I'm done on Mass Effect", then a few days later I forgot the name of the downloadable content I already have the code for and saw the cerebus DLC and thought "Oh, that looks new, I'll buy it and download it now".
So yes I blame you for that in releasing the special edition DLC not long after the actual games release.
Despite that I feel that adding special editions DLC to Xbox live renders the special edition games as pointless, you did however add it to Xbox live quicker than normal special edition DLC's are added to store, as normally it takes a couple of months.
Now I'm more of a fan of the Playstation 3, and I have a huge list of reasons why the Playstation 3 is better, so don't give me another reason to dislike the Xbox 360.

Endless Online, more potential than it shows.

Yes, endless online has more potential than it shows, and it has done for quite a long while, however though that is if the admins could be bothered with it.
If it were possible and down to me, I would have armour split into two, as one outfit can be a bit dull, so an armour and trousers split into two would be a nice change.
And also if it were possible I would allow swords to be carried on backs aswell as in the hand.
I'm no server expert but these may or may not be possible, but there's probably something along them lines that maybe possible.

I also still am undecided wether to have a go at making my own server, or hire someone to make the server for me, and have ourselves as the main high co-admins, or to not bother with any of it lol.

I hate forum nerds...

I hate the forum nerds who sit back and wait for someone to make even the smallest of mistakes and then they'll pounce on you ready to start uneccessary drama over the littlest of things.
Here's an example of your typical forum nerd:
If you create a new post based on a question you want answered, and if it's already been answered they don't hesitate to say things like "This has already been answered, we do have a search button you know".
However, if you post something on an old post regarding the question you want answered they bitch about bringing an old topic up back from the dead.

Time to get creative

Well for those who know that I have quite a bit of a creative side, I one more time have to develop for someone on imvu (as requested) by recreating an item I made some time ago, but with a slight difference, as I created an animated fire ring, which now has been requested to be made as an animated fire necklace.

Meanwhile, Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 has seen me creating a story in create a storyline.
The inspiration for this story came to me after seeing the Million Dollar Man and after seeing the Donald Trump buys Raw off of Vince McMahon storyline in the WWE.
My create a storyline would be based around the Million Dollar Man who offers Vince McMahan alot of money to buy Raw.
Although Vince is saddened to part with Raw, he couldn't refuse because of the price that was offered by The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase.
However, The Million Dollar Man takes advantage over Vince being distracted by his family problems, as Vince forgot to read the small print when signing the agreement.
The Million Dollar Man points this out to Vince that he took advantage, but he DID give him the correct money, for he doesn't own Raw, he owns a part of it, as The Million Dollar Man now owns half of the WWE.
With Vince feel distraught and outraged, Vince offers to pay the Million Dollar Man back the money he paid, Dibiase refuses, then Vince offers double, Dibiase refuses yet again and then points out that he considers this as a major investment and would like to buy Vince's half of the WWE.
Vince refuses the offer, so it seems that both men are not willing to sell their half of the company.
Later, The Million Dollar Man issues to every WWE superstar an opportunity of a life time, by working for him, under his payroll, and forming a new coperate faction.
My wrestler (Omega) mentions to Vince that he'll be bringing a new world order to the WWE, the nWo that will be rebuilt and renewed with brand new members who oppose against the Million Dollar Man despite that some superstars will choose to fight alone.

Out with the old (2009) and in with the new (2010)

Well as the dawn slowly closes an ending to yet another year, we soon say goodbye 2009 and hello to 2010.
This year had much shocking developments and happiness & joy for some people in the world, so we all have something to celebrate in our own senses.
A celebration to a successful year perhaps, or if you're on my band wagon, a celebration in conquering the tough challenges that 2009 had thrown at you.
But if anyone's like me, then ring that damn bell already because I'm ready for what 2010 has to throw at me.
I close off my Christmas and 2009 with an injured face, and hope to begin anew when 2010 begins when I heal, and get compensation from the bastard that did this to me.
Have a good christmas and a happy new year.

T'is the season to be....full of flu?

I had been feeling a little under the weather lately, it wasn't flu related thankfully, but I had been getting increased fatigue & quick flashes of dizzy spells, but so far, all is being well now.
And on that note I just wanna say one more thing "GO OUT AND BUY ASSASSIN'S CREED 2" :p it's a really cool game :)

If only...

When I joined EO in version 25, after a couple of weeks I thought EO had the potential to become a great online game, that all suddenly changed once Vult-r started fading interest for his online game.
But, if EO were still on the road to success, Vult could've hired more admins opened up another server with different items & a different name, let's just say for an example "Endless Online: Reign Of Chaos", I'm sure it would've made half the population of EO happier, but it's all a dream now since Endless Online is falling fast like roller coaster rolling down but with no track at the bottom to prevent any casualties.

If I could make a TV series

It would be about a man who discovers he has the ability to have his soul leave his body when he sleeps, his body would remain in a sleepful nature, but he soon realises his new found ability comes with a price, the price that he must hunt down and capture all spirit demons.
Sure it wont be a simple task for our hero, as he battles demons even poltergeists, and buy his side will be his new found lady friend who can see spirits including souls.
Down the heroes path he'll encounter some problems, such as finding himself stuck in the spirit world while his body remains in a coma, and one night while on a demon spirit hunt a powerful spirit demon who can possess bodies takes over his body while our hero remains as a spirit, they even would be points where our hero gets woken up by something or someone from the slightest phone call to the sound of road works while on a mission.

But when it comes to christmas that's when my inner child surfaces lol, looking forward to surprises and wondering which of my presents is which, so yea I do love christmas even though it can be tough during the weeks building up to christmas with all that spending to do and buying friends & family presents, but you can never be too old for christmas and playing video games :)

Working on my first pixels since reformatting

I've started work on a Ninja outfit which will be a part of a patch in future...that's the plan atm anyway, so I thought I'd show you what it looks like with the mask almost done, but I do have concerns over it though.



I like the face mask and the bandana on top of the head at least, so I'm thinking whether the black parts should stay or go...I feel it may look better if it went, but I guess only one way to find out is if I try it.

Hmm, I still can't yet decide...

Online Gaming

Well just thought I'd say since alot of you wont know...I have tried Runescape before, but in my opinion it's too slow and too dull for my liking, and sure EO maybe falling into the darkest deepest parts of the shit pit right about now but because there's very few decent people on there, and some of them I happen to know, that is one of the reasons I keep playing it.

Now if you want my advice, one game is probably not worth investing in is Champions Online where you get to create your own super hero and choose his/her powers.
Sure this may sound really fun and good to you which at this point even I'd believe it does too, but the things that lets it down is not only does it lag but also not only have you got to buy the game from your local video gaming retail store, after 30 days of registering your game, anyone who wishes to carry on playing the game has to pay a stupid amount of money to subscribe so they can carry on playing.
So this game would be a hell of alot better if you have the option to play offline aswell as to be free rather than to subscribe, since the makers of the game have failed to realise one of the game makers most important rule in creating a game is "to make sure the users/buyers get their moneys worth", and for Champions Online all I can say is it's a rip off, all I have to hope for now is I hope DC Universe Online wont make us subscribe when that gets released.

Honey I'm hooooome....

Ok I've decided maybe I'll come back on here more often and do some blogging.
I've had some stressful times trying to sort out my laptop after suffering the dreaded Blue Screen Of Death....but so far all is good, but there's still some stuff to install.

I now associate myself with the likes of: Sims 3, Football Manager 2009, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (all for the PC), FIFA 10, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Need For Speed Shift, Disgaea 3 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (all for the Playstation 3).
Speaking of Need For Speed Shift, I had myself a race with a few people, and one of them was with an admin for NFS Shift...I did alot better than I thought I'd do against who I consider to be "The best" since he's one of the men behind the game, I had 5 races, and in two of them I came 2nd but came close to finishing in 1st.

Plans for the near future: Yes I may consider in making my own server in future, I do learn quickly and I am talented so it's a 50/50 chance I may become good at it or not, but for the time being I shall just make a patch for me to test on main which if I do decide in making my own server my patch will be used, and some of you might be disappointed to hear that I had lost all my pixelated work from the Mario hats to the Moonwalker tux & The Squirtle outfit, so I'll probably have to start all those from scratch.

Arvid apparently threatening to sue anyone using Private EO Servers

So....rumours are Arvid's threatened to sue any of the private servers using his pixel art.
Well, fear not Arvid as half of the pixels aren't really that great and I think it may sound a bit funny to some of the judges if you were to walk in and say you're sueing half the population of Endless Online because they've breached the laws of copyright over your pixels.
Solution for Arvid: If it's that much of an issue instead of whining about it Arvid you should take that up with Vult since he's the head of programming/coding and could possibley do I don't know, maybe encrypt your pixels in some way so that gfx files are not accessable at all (like EOR has done).

Solution for the players: Since Vult doesn't mind people using private servers as long as those who sign up take precautions in not using the same names or passwords, one solution would be to create your own pixel art, however will take a whole team of pixel artists to do it though and that way you can guarantee he can't do nothing about it, it's either that or not listen to what Arvid (or a fake Arvid) has had to say and just carry on since he would have to take half the population of Endless Online (which is an awful lot), and look silly in front of judges trying to explain that all these people stole your poorly drawn pixels.

The end of 2 era's

Well it's the end of 2 era's for English Football.
One will see most of the defenders in the Premiership delighted to see the back of Cristiano Ronaldo as he signs for Real Madrid, however being a Man Utd fan myself I hope he does rubbish at Real Madrid, and why I say that is because his ego is as big as Barcelona are at the moment, and all due respect to Carlos Quieroz commenting that Ronaldo's loyalty to Man Utd had nothing to do with it as he was following his dream, in my eyes he's young, he's got all the time in the world to play for other clubs, the least he could've done was see out his remaining contract at United and then leave.

The second end of an era is Newcastle.
Sadly Newcastle have been having some problems.
Joey Barton being a complete prick, original manager Joe Kinnear recovering after being under the knife while Alan Shearer has taken the manager's seat at Newcastle, and we now see Newcastle will be trying to fight their way back into the premiership.
And I kind of hope they do come back into the premiership since they've been playing in the Premiership for many years now and trying to imagine a league without Newcastle is just a little difficult for me.
However out of all the teams in the premiership who I expected would be in the relegation zone no one deserves to stay in top flight than Hull City after their explosive start to the 08/09 season.

Lol @ the people on the Eo forum

So I posted an idea involving the whole servers on the wishlist section of the forum.
The idea was to have the test server only open for a limited time until a week after the new version is officially out, and on the test server players be able to wear anything they like without buying anything (like on Rena's server).
And that a new server be created for those who are fans of Eo before stats were brought into play.
And because of this I got a few people bitching at me because I posted an idea on the wishlist section.
And then I get people bitching at me on my thread Playstation 3 Vs Xbox 360 saying things like "Nobody cares so fuck off", ect....so I don't mix with the people on the Eo forum, for starters I'd need to have my head shoved up my arse.

About Mugen...

Mugen is a fighting game for the PC where you can download & add ANY fighters you want, whether they're from Streetfighter, Mortal Kombat, Marvel, DC, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Dragon Ball Z and various Anime's and more, you can even add stages and theme music for that stage.I currently have a tool that allows me to edit colours of any character I want, I also know how to change the character's name's and the sizes of the characters, I also have a tool that'll let me create my own Mugen character which I hope to do at some point, what you'll need is the Mugen Character Maker, a sprite sheet for the character you want to create and sounds for the moves they do (like "HADOUKEN/SHO-RYU-KEN" for Ryu/Ken for instance).

Many people have made their own Mugen's available to download so you can either choose to make your own from scratch or download a pre-made one by someone else.
You can find several pre-made Mugen's at www.caiman.us
